Aether Datatypes 🚀

Aether Datatypes is a set of lightweight, immutable primitives & value objects for JVM applications. It focuses on Unicode‑safe handling, small utility types, and allocation‑aware APIs that act as building blocks for other Aether libraries and your applications.

---

✨ Features

✅ String32, TinyInteger, ...: Immutable, allocation‑efficient value objects for common use cases.

✅ Text Utilities: Normalization helpers, ASCII checks, and conversion utilities designed to avoid common pitfalls.

✅ Core Value Objects: Minimal, predictable types and helpers intended for reuse across services and libraries.

✅ Allocation‑aware APIs: Prefer iterables and streams where possible to reduce temporary allocations.

✅ Java 17+ baseline; works on newer JVMs (21/25) due to forward compatibility.
